      I think that's all reaction videos in general. That's why this genre of youtube videos mean a ton to me. I would love to go back in time and experience an album for the first time. And if I can't do that, I'm going to watch another person's reaction and compare it to my own. Reaction videos have completely changed my opinion on music.

    This guy is the logical culmination of the "music reaction" UA-cam genre. He is the pinnacle of a video category plagued by the lowest of efforts. Something about the unconventional way he experiences music, completely immersing himself and not troubling with the nitty gritty, lends itself perfectly to this content. He even makes his own additions to the songs in real time. You can watch as the music washes over him, and see it flow through him. The rest can go home now. He's perfected the formula.

    I’ll never forget the first time I listened to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I was already a massive Kanye West fan before the album dropped and it was my most anticipated album of that year.
    He also had probably one of the greatest lead ups to an album ever. Every Friday he would drop us a track as part of the G.O.O.D. Friday series as an build up to the album.
    I come from South Africa so generally we didn’t get everything as soon as it dropped in the states and this was way before the internet was today and instant reactions and reviews weren’t a thing so I visited the CD almost everyday to check whether the guys had the album in stock.
    And then one Friday, I went into the store and there it was. I was still in high school but I had saved up for this album and I bought it.
    I remember coming home telling myself that I’ll listen to the first few tracks on our old ass stereo system (it was older than me!) and then go make some food (I had just gotten home from school) and then listen to the rest of the album.
    70 minutes later I was still sitting on the floor. I hadn’t moved. The thought of wanting to go made food has gotten consumed when by the time I got to Power. And when I heard people clapping I also started clapping as well because I knew that I had just listened to the greatest album of all time

  • @1PABL02
    @1PABL02 3 роки тому +118

    (GENIUS ANNOTATION) Runaway outro - The outro contains Kanye singing the first four lines of the hook through a vocoder. It begins with West mumbling something that sounds like “I'ma be honest…” before the vocal effects drowns out what is audible in his words, to the point. It could be interpreted that the purpose of the outro as a fantasy of escape through pure catharsis, with the vocoder literalizing Kanye’s ability to transform his personal shortcomings into art. As a result the words take on an emotional, primal, more visceral sound.
    Another interpretation was proposed by Chicago Sun-Times writer Thomas Conner, who wrote:
    The last four minutes find him humming and singing, but his voice is Auto-Tuned and distorted beyond perceptibility. What’s he saying or singing? Can’t really make it out, can’t really understand him. Which, no doubt, is how he feels his clumsy public statements are often received.
